My boyfriend is on probation (dui)... he is currently out of town, and considering not coming back. His next probation date is on the 14th, he says he just wants to stay out of the state and never come back, he's tired of this town yadda yadda yadda.
I've tried to talk some sense into him. I know a warrant for his arrest will be effective once he misses his probation... my question is: does anyone know the repurcussions of this action? WIll they hunt him down in another state? When he gets another job in another state will his soc sec # flag an they'll find him? If he gets pulled over in another state will it show in another states system that a warrent is out for his arrest? I'm trying to show him what kind of trouble he can actually be in if he follows through with his bone-headed idea. Does anyone know the legal ramifications?
Thanks!

Yes a warrant will be issued,and he will be arrested for it, in any other state. Will the home state bring him back?
It will effect jobs, as employers do background searches.
He just needs to be a good person and get this behind him, or it will put him behind bars

If he is on probation (I assume its felony probation since he has to check in) he must make his appointments and court dates or he will wind up with the case being set on the court's calendar for a probation violation.
If he doesnt make his court date, a warrant for his arrest will issue.
Sometimes your local police will try to find and arrest him actively. Sometimes he will have a new job, kids and changed his life and will get pulled over for speeding and be extradited to the original state to serve the maximum sentence...
It all depends
Moral of the story: Make sure he finishes his probation and does not let a warrant issue for his arrest.

Yes he will be in a world of trouble. He will be considered a fugitive from justice. And possibly go to jail for an extended period of time because he has made it apparent that he can not be trusted to be a grown up about the situation and do what the judge told him to do. He probably wont be able to get a job out of state because it will be flagged when they run a criminal history or a back ground check. Pretty much if he does that he will be screwed for a while.

He will be arrested and most likely charged in that state as a Fugitive from Justice. His right to operate a car will mosts likely be revoked and the car registration may not stay active either. Most states arrest on out of state warrants and he may be held until court, which in some states can take up to 45 days.

His driver's license will be suspended or revoked & he won't be able to get a new one, even in the new state. The court MAY issue a warrant. They're not like to hunt him down on a DUI warrant, but the next he gets stopped, he's looking at a trip to jail & a hefty bond to get out.

ok, when ur on probation, ur not even supposed to cross state lines at all. so thats the first illegal thing. if he gets pulled over, the police will do a warrant search that covers the entire nation as a standard procedure. once he leaves the state, any law enforcement agency can get his record. when they realize he left the state, theyll nail him. after his warrant is out, they will search for him using money trails, his social security number, ect. when he gets a job out of state, they will find him. if he doesnt get a job out of state, they will still find him, it might just take longer, depending on how well he behaves himself. they will also be looking for his car.

if he needs to check in with his p.o., once a month-then he should-or yes a warrant can be issued for his arrest. if its a drug test or alcohol test he's worried about, hes better off cleaning himself up a bit, because it can be real expensive if he doesnt. First off, he already has one charge on his record, why be dumb and add another ? This record, assuming he is over 18, will stay with him for life, in most cases, so why add something dumb, like an arrest for skipping out .It sounds like he is either hideing something, or trying to push your buttons , or just extremely immature.
Getting a job, will not ring off any bells, unless he is wanted for murder or something like that, in that case, he would most likely be all over the t.v., and too afraid to go out into public.,unless they do a prior to hire felony background check-but they have to tell you before you even fill out an application.
they can and alot of states do, put a "lean "on your liscence, when you have an arrest warrant, and prevents you from renewing, your liscence, and can also raise red flags throughout the building.
the reprucussions, could be default on his probation, and jail time for the remaining stint of time.that depends on his P.O., and any prior criminal record.
i do not think they would hunt him, as in a bounty hunter, if its just a P.O. default-again-it depends on other factors, as in any priors, etc.
if the warrant is active, when and if he gets pulled over, in 96.5% of the times, yes they will arrest him.
so it would be wise for him first of all -to- NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE-
and second,one day a month isnt bad-he should make the trip to see his P.O, it would save him money$$ and headaches.

As soon as he misses the probation date he will be considered a fugitive and will be hunted by both police and bounty hunters if he borrowed money to get out of jail. When he is brought back, they will not let him out on bond because he will be considered a flight risk.

Yes, he is stuck with abiding by the the probation. Or he will go to jail when stopped and identified. This is the deal he made when he pled on the DUI.
Imagine how this guy would be in a custody fight over children or child support. If you don't have kids with him yet, don't.

Well he can move if he wants to move, he just has to advise his PO that he is wanting to move and take care of the paperwork stuff.
Otherwise he is facing arrest whenever he gets pulled over for a traffic stop...Depending on where he is of course.
There are a lot of variables that influence these sorts of things. But it wont just go away because he moved out of state.
